march to victory

Seeing that everyone didn't answer, Zhang Qingshan could only continue talking to himself, but his tone was a little annoyed.

"Comrades, don't think that you can walk out of the aquatic grassland in just a few days... You know, this is a dangerous aquatic grassland! I would like to advise everyone: As long as we don't completely walk out of the aquatic grassland, we must always Be very careful, otherwise, God knows what will happen next."

"Well! Lao Zhang reminded you right." Liu Bing also realized that the previous mentality was wrong, and immediately supported Zhang Qingshan: "I was just like you. When I heard that I could walk out of the water and grass in only a few days, I felt very sad. Excited. But thinking about what Lao Zhang said now, it is indeed a wise saying, which made me wake up. So, I hope that everyone will take this issue seriously and responsibly..."

Speaking of this, Liu Bing turned to Zhang Qingshan and said, "Old Zhang, I have a proposal."

"You said."

"I feel that tonight's meeting, regardless of the outcome, must be kept secret."

"It's natural, I agree."

Everyone is in favor of this proposal... Don't say anything else, let's just talk about food and time: if there is a sudden shortage of food, it will cause a sense of panic in the soldiers' hearts-even though they have experienced food shortages before. But these days, everyone can eat half full. Although it is wild vegetables, it is better than the previous days.Who wants to go back to the days of boiled wild vegetables?

Then there is the issue of time. Just now, Lao Zhou did the calculations, and after confirming the date a little bit, judging from the huge impact on the hearts of several people, it is indeed better to keep it secret, otherwise, the soldiers will be overly optimistic. mentality.Although this mentality will give everyone a huge boost within four or five days from now.However, if they haven't walked out of the water and grassland by then, many people's mentality will take a 180-degree turn immediately, and they will immediately change from high morale to hopeless.So, let's keep going with peace of mind.Besides, it is not yet the best time to release this news and use this impact to boost morale, so it is also best to keep it secret.

Because tonight's meeting was held impromptu, and we didn't prepare anything related to the meeting's topic in advance, so everyone just brought it up when they thought of it.In this way, the arbitrariness is stronger, but it can also be seen from this that the seriousness and urgency of the problem of this meeting.

"Since everyone agrees, it's considered a unanimous vote. Now, let me talk about my thoughts on how to find food." After speaking, Zhang Qingshan looked at Zhou Ping and asked, "Old Zhou, how much lard and beef are there?" Oil?"

"I've been strictly controlling the amount of lard these days..." After saying this, Zhou Ping thought of something, showed a rare smile, and said, "Sometimes, I secretly put butter into lard In the dish, everyone didn't find it."

Everyone cooperated and laughed.But I was thinking in my heart: Lao Zhou, it’s not that everyone didn’t find out, but that everyone couldn’t tell. Do you really think everyone can’t taste lard and butter?It's just that in this kind of place, no matter what kind of oil it is, as long as it smells like oil, everyone will be satisfied.It's better than boiled wild vegetables, isn't it?

"There's still half of the lard and tallow left."

"Well, that's good." Zhang Qingshan breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "I got to know Comrade Qin Fang this afternoon. Now, we only have Comrade Li Xueshan who is seriously injured, and there are 21 people who are slightly injured. Bit... So, I have two proposals here, and I hope everyone can help make a decision."

Zhang Qingshan took a puff of cigarettes to make the thoughts in his mind clearer, and then said: "The first proposal is: the remaining food should be used by the wounded and sick, but the problem is that it is only about 25 catties. Well, I estimate that it can last for about two days at most. Therefore, I want to simply give the wounded and sick a ration, and at the same time add some wild vegetables. In this way, it should be able to last for two more days... The second suggestion Yes: simply lower everyone’s food standard by one more standard. Those of us who are intact will simply eat boiled wild vegetables for every meal in the next few days. The wounded and sick will eat boiled vegetables with oil stars in the morning. Wild vegetables, and a small amount of barley powder for the evening meal. In this way, everyone can still support for a few more days."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Qingshan let out a long breath and said with a smile, "What do you think?"

"That's a good idea." Lao Wang, who hadn't said anything all this time, finally expressed his opinion when he saw everyone nodding his head: "However, if we have to walk such a long distance every day, we still eat boiled wild vegetables for every meal. If so, I estimate that everyone's physical strength will drop sharply. In less than two days, the speed of marching may be greatly reduced. Therefore, I suggest that in order to maintain the physical strength consumed by everyone on the road, everyone eats boiled wild vegetables in the morning and eats them in the evening. Add some oil to the cauldron. In this way, at least we can last for a while... Besides, we are only a few days away from getting out of the water grass field. This kind of combination should allow everyone to maintain the current speed until we get out of the water grass field go."

Zhang Qingshan thought for a while, raised his hand, and said: "Old Wang's method is good, I agree."

Others also raised their hands.

"Second point, Lao Wang, your food team must be expanded. At least, there must be a few people who are responsible for fishing, and more people are collecting wild vegetables along the way..." Zhang Qingshan smiled when he said this.Said: "Old Wang, you are a master fisherman. At this time, don't hide your clumsiness. You must bring out a few more good apprentices. In this way, the wounded and sick can eat more fish, and comrades can also eat more fish." Have a few more mouthfuls of fish soup..." Zhang Qingshan paused suddenly, and then laughed and teased Lao Wang: "Old Wang, thinking about it this way, the burden on your shoulders is not light! Everyone's food standards and whether you have the strength to walk can be determined. It's all on you."

"Well! I will try my best to catch more fish to improve everyone's food. However, how much do you plan to increase the number of people collecting wild vegetables along the way?"

Zhang Qingshan was still thinking, but Liu Bing smiled and said: "Didn't I just say that~! Everyone lined up, collecting firewood and wild vegetables at the same time. If this is the case, your food team will have to work harder. We went further away to collect wild vegetables... I think so, taking advantage of the large number of people, we set up a second food team. In this way, the two teams can collect wild vegetables on both sides of the team, one on the left and one on the right."

"This is a good idea, and I support it." Peng Peng immediately raised his hands in support, and everyone naturally had no objection to this, and they all raised their hands in agreement.

"Besides fishing and gathering wild vegetables, think about it, is there anything else that can satisfy your hunger?"

Regarding Zhang Qingshan's proposal, everyone smiled wryly.Peng Peng shouted even more depressingly: "Old Zhang, don't expect more in this place where the birds don't shit. Damn, you have to watch and watch wild vegetables to eat. If one is not good, it is easy to be poisoned collectively." .Fishing is even more difficult, absolutely rare. To put it bluntly, if I had known that there were still fish to be caught in this place, I wish I could have a fishing tool for everyone."

Everyone laughed, but Lao Wang frowned slightly and kept his mouth tightly shut.

Zhang Qingshan noticed Lao Wang's expressive expression, looked at him suspiciously, and asked with three points of surprise and seven points of expectation: "Old Wang, what did you think of?"

"Actually, there is one more thing you can eat, and at least it can make everyone persevere, no! It should be said that it will definitely make you persevere until you walk out of the aquatic grass field..." Speaking of this, he felt two strange eyes, Glancing at Zhou Ping secretly, he quickly lowered his head, but muttered in his mouth: "Of course, this is only done when it is a last resort."

Before everyone could react for a while, Zhou Ping pointed at Lao Wang and said angrily: "Old Wang, don't fucking fart with me. If you dare to hit those four horses, don't blame me for breaking up with you."

It turned out that when Pharaoh and Zhou Ping met for the first time, when they were chatting, Zhou Ping lamented what a pity it was for the two horses that died on the way here.But Old Wang was feeling pity and smacking his mouth, saying that if he was there, he would definitely try his best to get the two horses up and have a good meal.Then he showed off how good he was at making horse meat, and even planned to return to his hometown to open a horse meat shop after the victory of the revolution in the future.In the end, he fantasized that if there was really nothing to eat, he would take the remaining four horses for surgery.

For this reason, Zhou Ping almost turned against Lao Wang on the spot.

Now that Lao Wang has once again set his mind on the four horses, it is strange that Zhou Ping can have a good temper.

The people who came back understood that Zhou Ping valued horses so much. After all, since ancient times, horses have been "brothers" of soldiers. In ancient times, some knights even scraped off the horse's hide after the death of their beloved horse. After his death, he was buried in horse skin.

However, understanding is understanding, but another problem is extremely prominent: you can't watch your comrades starve to death just for a few horses, right?

So, it's hard for everyone to make a decision—the point is that they haven't reached that point yet, so it's really hard for everyone to express their opinions now.Of course, if you really reach that point, you don't need to express your opinion. What to do is clear at a glance.

"Old Zhou, don't be so excited~! Lao Wang is also for everyone's benefit, and he proposed it as a way to prevent everyone from starving, just in case..."

Before Zhang Qingshan finished speaking, Zhou Ping raised his neck and shouted: "I don't care about other things, I only know that whoever wants to kill a horse has to step over me first."

Seeing Zhou Ping's reaction was extremely intense, Zhang Qingshan frowned slightly, not knowing how to speak for a moment.Unexpectedly, Peng Peng jumped out at this time.Pointing at Zhou Ping, he cursed: "Okay, Zhou Ping, you actually watched your comrades starve to death just because of a few horses. What the hell are you so worried about...don't be so fucking messing around with me, I'm still going to kill you!" Let me tell you, when the time really comes, for the comrades to have a stutter, let alone step over you, even if I cut off my flesh and made soup, I would be happy."

Zhang Qingshan understood in an instant: Peng Peng was only slightly transferred to realize it just now. Now, Zhou Ping's words stimulated him and angered him all of a sudden.After all, the flashpoint of Peng Peng's cousin's death was the poisoning caused by eating wild vegetables. How could he bear the fact that someone starved his comrade to death for the sake of a horse?

Seeing that the two were about to fight, Zhang Qingshan suddenly shouted: "Shut up the fuck!"

Seeing that everyone was staring at them, Zhang Qingshan shouted angrily, "Do you fucking think this is a vegetable market? I told you that this is a party group meeting."

Seeing that the two of them were overwhelmed by his aura and kept silent for a while, Zhang Qingshan's tone dropped a lot: "Now, sit down for me and continue the meeting!"
